If you are a farmer in Minnesota or North Dakota who grows both sugar beets and soybeans, you’ll want to carefully consider your soybean choice this year. Weed resistance is sneaking up on more and more growers in the area, and a small problem can easily “grow” into a big one. Farmers are becoming more aware of the weed resistance issues in their sugar beet acres. However, many may not realize possible future impacts. A change this year could make a big difference in years to come.
To combat resistance, it is vital to utilize an alternative mode of action or herbicide. Stine® LibertyLink® soybeans provide just that—an option to break the cycle of weed resistance. Stine is, and continues to be, a leader in the campaign to battle weed resistance. Stine does this by providing our customers with the largest selection of high yielding Liberty Link soybean varieties on the market.
